This patchset has 3 separate but related parts:
1. DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES [patch 1/10]
Declares DRM.debug style bitmap, bits control pr_debugs by matching formats
Adds callback to translate bits to $cmd > dynamic_debug/control
This could obsolete EXPORT(dynamic_debug_exec_queries) not included.
anticipated_usage:
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(debug, __drm_debug,
" bits control drm.debug categories ",
[0] = { DRM_DBG_CAT_CORE },
[1] = { DRM_DBG_CAT_DRIVER },
[2] = { DRM_DBG_CAT_KMS },
[3] = { DRM_DBG_CAT_PRIME }, ...);
2. use (1) to reimplement drm.debug [patches 3-7]::
1st in amdgpu & i915 to control existing pr_debugs by their formats
then in drm-print, for all drm.debug API users
avoids drm_debug_enabled(), gives NOOP savings & new flexibility.
changes drm.debug categories from enum to format-prefix-string
alters log format to include the format-prefix-string

Im sure Ive missed stuff.
3. separately, Sean Paul proposed drm.trace to mirror drm.debug to tracefs
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/78133/ ::
He argues::
tracefs is fast/lightweight compared to syslog
independent selection means tailored traffic for both
ISTM he's correct. So it follows that its also good for dyndbg, where
its then available for all pr_debug users (if CONFIG_TRACING).
So basically, I borg'd his::
[patch 14/14] drm/print: Add tracefs support to the drm logging helpers
Then I added a T flag, so anyone can enable it::
# turn on all drm's pr_debug --> tracefs
echo module drm +T > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
It appears to just work: (RFC)
The instance name is purposely crappy, to force a revisit later, maybe
"pr_debugs" (plural). Per-module subdirs kinda fits the tracefs
pattern, but ./dyndbg-tracefs/$module/$file/$function/$line seems a
little like overkill. RFC.

This is the pr-debug doing most of that logging: (from dynamic_debug/control)
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ioctl.c:866 [drm]drm_ioctl =T "drm:core: comm=\042%s\042 pid=%d, dev=0x%lx, auth=%d, %s\012"
Turning on decoration flags changes the trace:
echo module drm format drm:core: +mflt > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

The FUNCTION could stand tweaking (to match the callsite in the
control file, cited above), or perhaps replaced by the 'mfl'
decorations; the 't' flag is redundant for trace. Meh.
SELFTEST
A previous version of this patchset added test_dynamic_debug.ko, but
it relied upon code I ripped out when I made tracefs available by
default (without modules registering 1st). So it fails 10/29 tests,
which counted +T sites executed, via side effect.
TODO: userspace selftest
# to set expected tracing activity
echo module test_dynamic_debug function do_debugging +T > control
# run do_debugging function (todo: add sysfs knob)
echo 2 > /sys/module/test-dynamic-debug/parameters/do_debugging
If thats wrapped in the right trace_on, trace_pipe, etc incantations,
the +T enabled pr_debugs in do_debugging() can be counted, compared
against expectations, and passed or failed.
v8 is here:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/93914/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210915163957.2949166-1-jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx/
The major change since v8 is that +T now works for all users, if
CONFIG_TRACING=y, otherwise it complains/errors.
